Just finished my in-vacuum troop carrier:

..and an APC:

Now to make a battlecruiser! (and finally engage in combat)

[zekes]

Glad to have you back.

[andrew123]

Yes! Zokesia is back in business!

I was hoping to see you again.

Persist

Seeing as I actually have less battles at this point I took point.

I also decided to mess around after I uploaded the persist.

Turns out 23.5 broke my missiles,they're now more accurate without spinning.

[War Eagle 1]

^So you have cannon cruiser, cannon destroyer (can't remember their names), two of you frigates (can't remember them either without looking them up) and a broadsword.

[daemonCaptrix]

Looks like we're using two different versions of kerbpaint. The Warlock's head should be green.

[War Eagle 1]

Finally got all my ship painted. Feel free to check them out on page one

Your ships all have radiation coating.

[ScriptKitt3h]

I'm ready to battle once I finish my current project.... a proper battlecruiser for my forces.

Also, how do those "cannon ships" work? Linear acceleration (like older "mass driver/railgun" designs), or do they function differently?

[ScriptKitt3h]

So, I landed on Minmus with a SX-1 corvette to prove the landing capability...

And made a battlecruiser.

Now, who wants to battle?

If I didn't have papers to wright I would. Oh how I want to unleash my new Golden fleet

I stopped the knockback when firing.

But the weapons are pretty lousy.

My cannons do as much damage as missiles.

Same here.

I'm just now getting into designing military vessels. Seeing the rest of the ships here, I feel scared :s

V Anybody want to fight this? Or use it and tell me how well it performs? V

It has manned fighters as well as drone fighters, although I feel the drone ones are the only ones that are useful. Far less cumbersome.

Just a hint…those macey dean standard torps on the fighter won't do jack against our ships. If you want something good you need to use separators as your .5 meter missile

[daemonCaptrix]

It has a pretty solid shape, but wings make for fragile armour, and your SRBs are way too big to be used as torpedoes. You could save mass by halving the size of the torpedoes, then use that extra mass for heavy armour.

Ah. Noted and noted.

Redesign in progress. Thanks guys

'Insane laugh' Prepare for insanity...

The first 1/5 center section of the Infinity class capital ship (With the full complement of 10 updated Stalwart/Strident Class Heavy Frigates) Updated version clocks in at near 4000 parts:

Javascript is disabled. View full album

I actually have to swap out the frigates with the updated versions, enlarge the deployment bays, start the construction of the side hull, plan the layout of the top side, and find the location of S-Deck.

And I fully expect to eventually exceed 1000000 parts. The final ship should be able to plow through any other ship in this game like a knife through hot butter... and that's ignoring the planned series-8 "Super-Heavy MAC" main cannons.

[daemonCaptrix]

Spartwo, you have six ships. xD

Which one are we not going to count?

Edit: @Andrew: There is no way you can use a four-thousand part ship, let alone a million part ship. My computer is dying just loading the image of that monster. xD

[andrew123]

@daemonCaptrix

No worries. a million parts is only a low estimate. (Think of the Forerunner engines. XD)

And I'm using a fx 6300 at stock frequencies. Horrible single threaded performance all the way! (slightly negated in video editing by my gtx 760)

And no, an i7 4930k is a no-go for a high schooler.

Dafug? Mickey Rooney just died? I forgot to shut of Windows 8 news alerts...

[daemonCaptrix]

I mean sure you can build whatever ships you want, but you won't be allowed to use ships with more than 500 parts due to enormous lag for everyone else. (500 is pushing it)

[ScriptKitt3h]

So, I decided to test out my SX-1 against some Probe-Tek and daeCorp ships...

Initial results:

SX-1 v. Katana:

SX-1 v. Hatchet:

SX-1 v. DSCV Trident:

daeCorp's armor on its larger vessels is... top-notch, to say the least.

Spartwo, you may want to up-armor your cannon ships. If 4 i-beams can wreck 'em, a MAC shot

or SRB salvo certainly will.
